Domenic Cappello - Galactic Praise EP [Cyphon Recordings]

Format: 12” 180 gram in printed sleeve.

Cyphon are delighted to announce the release of an incredible new EP from Domenic Cappello. Titled Galactic Praise, this four-track masterpiece pays homage to the rich heritage of Detroit Techno while seamlessly incorporating Cappello’s innovative sound design, showcasing his exceptional ear for what makes a discerning dance floor tick.

A key figure in the electronic music scene thanks to his long-standing residency at Glasgow’s legendary Sub Club, Domenic captivates audiences worldwide with his unique blend of powerful, pulsating beats, emotive melodies and deeply immersive soundscapes. His position as booker and resident (alongside Harri) at Sub Club has allowed him to hone his craft and connect with some of the most exciting talents in House and Techno, influencing his distinctive style. With Galactic Praise, he takes listeners on an exhilarating journey through the heart of techno, inspired by the groundbreaking music that emerged during the golden era of Motor City sounds.

Dat Thing sets the tone. An energetic house track that captures the raw energy and spirit of Detroit, featuring hypnotic synth lines and a robust bassline that brings a touch of melancholy while maintaining a stripped back groove for maximum club impact.

Niamh’s Song is a deeper exploration of melody and rhythm, showcasing Cappello’s masterful ability to weave intricate harmonies into an intoxicating and otherworldly groove.

On Galactic Praise, a homage of sorts to the roots of Techno, the track combines classic 909 and 303 elements with ethereal pads, creating a heavier, timeless sound that will resonate with both long-time fans of the genre and newcomers alike.

Closing out this special EP is Neon Skyline, a vibrant yet reflective track that captures the essence of late-night journeys through urban landscapes, blending chiming arpeggios, a powerful synth bass and driving beats for an immersive experience.

As Domenic says “This EP is a tribute to the roots of techno that have inspired me since my formative years. My experiences at Sub Club have been crucial in shaping my sound and approach to my own productions, inspiring me to create something that captures the energy and excitement of that packed dance floor and incredible sound system. I can’t wait to share it with everyone!”
